skiing in kannabe

Finally got the chance to go skiing over the weekend - first time in Kobe!

I had taken some pictures with my phone camera, but since it doesn't have reverse camera, I couldn't take any of myself. It was a rather cloudy afternoon, and it even rained a little. Too bad no extra snow, but still happy I got my ski and snow fix.

So I'm really glad our colleague Yokogawa-san brought a portable video camera along, and even composed a nice little montage (with one of my fav Japanese songs)* of the ski trip in Kannabe. Makes me want to get one of that too!

* Update 10 March : Apparently Youtube had removed the accompanying music, must have been due to copyright issues. Bummer!

Sno By Any Other Name

when i first started this blog, i had not seen nor touched a snowflake before. i just imagined it must be one of those magical things that can only be experienced in a special place. knowing how each snowflake is unique in shape and size only makes it even more beautiful to look at. i finally held a snowflake in my hand when i experienced my first snow in niigata, japan. from then on, winter became my favourite season as i looked forward to the white bits that would fall from the sky and blanket the mountains and rice fields in an ethereal calm that is still a marvel for me.
